Intern applications are currently accepted. In most cases, intern positions involve intensive coding for simulations of network models, and analysis of real network data. Successful interns may be later re-hired as postdocs.

To apply, send a cover letter (including a brief description of interests and skills) and CV to jobs+net.interns@caida.org

If you have a specific project in mind that you'd like to collaborate with CAIDA on, you are welcome to submit your CV along with any materials (publications, code samples, references, etc) that would help us evaluate you for a postdoctoral research position here. Please send these materials along with a cover letter detailing the specific CAIDA projects in which you have interest to jobs+net.postdocs@caida.org

CAIDA supports a sabbatical program for Internet engineers, vendors,
researchers, and faculty to take a brief respite from their normal
day-to-day engineering, product development, or teaching duties, in order
to lend their expertise to the advancement of larger Internet evolution
issues. For further info please email jobs@caida.org.
